Buttermilk Syrup

We love this with either Banana Nut Waffles or Buttermilk Pancakes, but it's great on every kind!

1 cube butter                                    1 c. sugar
Boil for a couple of minutes (but don't burn), then add:
1/2 c. *buttermilk
Remove from heat and add:
1 tsp. baking soda                             1 tsp. vanilla
Stir.  It will foam up.  Serve hot for best taste!

*You can sour your own milk by adding half a tsp. of vinegar or lemon juice to your milk.  Do that first, and let sit while you melt your butter and sugar together.  However, it does taste better with the real stuff!

Buttermilk Pancakes

These are MY favorite pancakes.  I just love the cornmeal in them!
These go terrific with Buttermilk Syrup.


2 c. *buttermilk
1/2 c. cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
6 Tbls. melted butter

Mix everything together except butter well;  add butter.  Cook!
This feeds my family of 6, so if your fam is smaller you may want to half it.
*You can sour your own milk by adding 2 tsp. of vinegar or lemon juice.  Just let it sit while you mix everything else together.  But I will tell you it's way better with the real stuff!
